Israel said Monday it has plans for at least three more weeks of war as its military pounded targets across Iran overnight, while Iranian drone attacks temporarily shut Dubai International Airport and struck a key oil facility in the UAE.
The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran is now entering its third week, with no clear end in sight, shutting down the key Strait of Hormuz through which 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas flow, pushing up oil prices and raising fears of a renewed spike in global inflation.
U.S. President Donald Trump called Sunday for a coalition of nations to help reopen the vital shipping route and warned that the NATO alliance faces a "very bad" future if its members fail to come to Washington's aid.
In a briefing Monday, Israeli military spokesperson Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani told reporters that there are detailed operational plans for the war with Iran in place for the next three weeks, along with additional plans extending further ahead.
The military has framed its objectives as limited to weakening Iran's capacity to threaten Israel by striking ballistic missile infrastructure, nuclear facilities and the security apparatus.
